Cotal connector for Jcode: a host-mode mesh peer driven through Jcode's Harness API bridge.
AI Security Review
scanned 21h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flow stages provider credentials in a private local Jcode home for the connector's local agent. The routing hints for process execution and network access are consistent with that host function; no unrelated credential transmission or other concrete attack behavior was found.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
The host behavior runs when the managed Jcode host starts; it requires a configured Cotal control endpoint.
Impact
The Jcode agent can use credentials available on the machine, consistent with the connector's agent-hosting purpose.
Mechanism
It mirrors available credential files into a private local Jcode home and launches a local Jcode instance. The reviewed code does not show those credentials being sent to an unrelated collector.
AI rationale
The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the reviewed credential flow stages provider credentials in a private local Jcode home for the connector's local agent. The routing hints for process execution and network access are consistent with that host function; no unrelated credential transmission or other concrete attack behavior was found.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 84.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The package exports dist/index.js and declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook.
- The host starts only in managed mode and refuses to run without a configured Cotal control endpoint.
- The host stages credentials into a private local Jcode home, then launches the Jcode instance with inherited logins disabled.
Evidence against
- The host mirrors credentials from several AI tools, including Claude and Codex, into the local Jcode home by default when the host starts.
- The host includes network access to Cotal feedback and documentation services.
